If you are looking for a culinary experience with alcoholic beverages, this is a go-to joint. Located on the water’s edge of the Financial District, The Tuck Room will blow your mind with their innovative take on classic and newly made-up cocktails. Plus, every Thursday night they have a live DJ – J-Zone, spinning some tunes on vintage vinyl. Drinks, music, and food? Yes, please.

Adam Seger, aka The Bar Man at The Tuck Room, has an innovative way to inculcate adult beverages, called The Heizenberg – a Japanese infusion tower. Breaking Bad fans will totally get this reference, but you don’t have to be a fan of that show to enjoy a concoction created by the Heizenberg.

Booze on top, botanicals and liquid nitrogen in the middle is how this baby works.

My poison of choice happens to be bourbon or whiskey. Adam made me an Old Fashioned using a Sour mash bourbon from the Heizenberg Library from back in November. Hand-cut ice, New York State Maple Syrup and home made walnut bitters.

These cocktails change daily, but The Tuck Room has some awesome standards that remain the same. Drink Up NY, Empire State of Mind Manhattan, and Spice and Ice, to name just a few.

A great way to end one’s evening is by visiting their hidden Speakeasy. I’m not gonna tell you where… it’s a secret. Inside you will find a room decorated by renowned artist Peter Tunney.

There’s nothing quite like sipping a glass of Madeira that is over 30 years old. It is pretty cool. The Tuck Room boasts a collection of Madeira ranging in years all the way from the 1900s.

If you have a sweet-tooth like me, you must end your night with their Drunken Doughnuts. Bite-sized doughnuts served with boozy accompaniments, and made right before-your-eyes Drunken Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream.
